@@PepepepesjdjeWell you see when there’s 7 billion+ people on earth, there’s a lot of people who have done great things for humanity. That’s fine if you chose not to believe him but I have a father who is a veteran of the US army but I know you don’t believe that ether.
@@Pepepepesjdje Some major events involve a lot of people like, for instance, a battle. I had an uncle who was involved in the Inchon invasion in the Korean war, but so were a hundred thousand other guys. So it's not far fetched that a lot of people know someone who was involved in something major. Heck, I could say I was involved in the World Trade Center attacks because I happened to be down there that morning. But so was everyone else in Manhattan below Canal Street. That could be a million people.
After my grandfather died, my dad told me that he had been in the crowd at the Hindenburg disaster. I was mad that no one told me about it when he was alive so I could have asked about it, but I now suspect that it was just something he couldn't talk about. He would have been 25 at the time.
i knew a woman who saw the Hindenburg on it's last flight. As a child she lived in New Jersey under the airships flight path. She didn't see the crash, but she says folks always waved to the passengers, because it was fairly low when passing everhead.
I was hoping to see Ruth Newman listed, who was the last survivor of the 1906 San Francisco earthquake and died at the age of 113. Too bad she wasn't included.
I used to be neighbors with one of the people aboard the USS Missouri when the Japanese surrendered. I had no idea he was one of the last ones. He wasn't the man in this video but he was one of the last.
Might seem insignificant to most compared in this list but my grandad was one of many British POWs on the Burma railroads controlled by the Japanese in WW2 . He made it back to our hometown of Banff on the northeast coast of Scotland . He died in 1998 a few weeks after my dad and I found him in Southampton , England since he disappeared in 1976 .
They found out what caused the Hindenburg to go up in flames. The Germans painted it with a new paint, they discovered rocket fuel by accident. They had other zeppelins do the same but Germany was great at hiding failures. A gas expert discovered this back in the late 90’s or early 2000’s because of the color of the burning didn’t match with the gas used in the blimp! He actually burned a piece of it to show how it was still flammable.
@@vanseventy I’ve seen a documentary where they burned normal airship skin and jet fuel paired airship skin and they burned almost exactly the same. They made large scale models and burned those using different theories and saw which one looked closest to the footage. They concluded that St. Elmo’s fire sparked leaking hydrogen from the rear gas vents.
7:42 My grandmother had the same reaction from a guy she met at a church while on a trip to her hometown. For quick context, in 1958 in the town my grandfather grew up in, the only Chinese man who lived there owned a cafe. One early morning the woman he paid to clean up before opening noticed the cafe was closed and the chinaman, named Jim, wouldn’t answer the door. So she called the RCMP, told them that Jim killed his son, so the RCMP broke into the cafe in which Jim fired at them for trespassing, the other officers fired back and attempted to teargas Jim out of the building where he and his son were killed. My grandmother when she visited that church met one of the RCMP officers who was supposedly called out that morning. She asked him about it and he said that he’d rather not talk about it since it was a terrible thing that never should have happened that he spent his whole life trying to forget. He’s in his 90s now and I wish him the best.
During the Great Train Robbery a railway guard on the train, was seriously injured in an assault. The suspected attacker not ever fully identified, although certain members of the gang were suspected. The robbers also got caught, because they played Monopoly with the actual money, leaving their fingerprints on it, in their hideout.
I would have to check but I use to transport a WW2 pt. That witnessed the signing the peace treaty of Japan. I loved talking to him bout his time of n service. I was sad the day I found out he had past away. I don't remember what year he past away don't rememberm
@18:49 right here, you will see were this agent has ran up to the Continental and grabs a handle on the trunk of the vehicle. This where Secret Service is meant to ride on a modified bumper to act as human shields. There is news paper footage of the motorcade getting ready to pull of the airport's tarmac when you see two agents go to mount the back of the President's vehicle and are waved off as the limo pulls onto the road. You see the agents standing there left behind with their palms up waving their arms around clearly confused. One of many inconsistencies that left this days events murky and unexplainable to this day. At the very least, a bunch and a bunch of screwing up that needed to be covered up, either which'a way you look back at it.
FYI, when this film was first made public I saw it on t.v. with my parents. It had a narrator throughout explaining what you're seeing. This scene was explained as, "..here you can clearly see the First Lady climbing out to the Secret Service for safety." I turned to may dad and said, "She picked something up! It was a piece of his head! Why is he saying that? Did you see his head fly back? That was his head or his brains. Why would he say that? I can't believe they showed that on t.v.!" ..and down the rabbit hole.
All good stories you could have put in 2 more stories the last person to witness the assassination of Lincoln and the last to see Lincoln's face in 1901
The youngest 9-11 survivors were the kids at the Children's Discovery Center daycare inside the World Trade Center. They're all in their early to mid 20's now.
I’m grandfather is one of the few survivors of a massacre in a small town in Belarus during ww2 during Gluck. He is 89 and he is in touch with many other survivors but he says he thinks there are only about 2 dozen people left. Unfortunately there aren’t many records on this though.
Millivina Dean doesn't count for Titanic "passing into history" after her death since she had no memory of it. That actually happened with the death of Lillian Asplund in 2006.
Video is about major historical events, but over half of these events are unknown. This video is only covering West's/only WW2 events. Covering entire world's major historical events would be much better.
@@CoolCademMAnimates-fz1uiThere are plenty of images and b-roll footage available to accompany content like this... put that in. Rather see the event or some related imagery than some dumbfuk standing there having a one way conversation.
My grandfather was holding the first people on the scene at the burning of the Hindenburg. It was his first day as a police officer and his last.
Oh the humanity!
Seriously, that would traumatize anyone, especially on your first day.
Bullshit.

Wow
How wonderful that Cameron, DiCaprio and Winslet helped her, very cool.

How would you know the color of it if the only color footage was just B&W footage with color added by AI?
The US Govt is good about not only hiding failures but also making shit up and blaming Germany and/or Russia
It was filled with hydrogen. A simple spark made it go up
Gonna say it again. Find the documentary and watch it. I’m repeating what it said. It was in the early 2000’s and could possibly be in the late 90’s.

The fact that these people survived these life changing events is amazing and pure luck.

Samuel Seymore was the last to witness the assassination of Lincoln and Fleetwood Linsey was the last to see Lincoln's body in his coffin
Samuel Seymour went onto a game show in the 1950s called “I got a secret” and you can still find the episode online.
Someone alive today will be the last to remember 9/11.
The youngest 9-11 survivors were the kids at the Children's Discovery Center daycare inside the World Trade Center. They're all in their early to mid 20's now.

No.
One day there's gonna be the last survivor to witness 9/11...
What about the last surviving witness of Abraham Lincoln’s assassination?
For the last time, no soccer was played during the Christmas Truce.

The scary thing is; they aware that some of the male household will go down with the ship

Titanic sank April 15th not the 14th
Technically both. It collided on the 14th, and took past midnight to completely sink on the 15th.
World of wars lol oops
There was Noah after that great flood, LMAO
